I am using Mail for a very long time but with macOS Mail is become sluggish. It doesn't react promptly when selecting a mail. So I am looking for a alternative. Using Opera Mail for a couple of days now it seems to be running fine. I'm always open for other good Mail alternatives (payed or free).

"Opera browser sold to a Chinese consortium for $600 million The Norwegian company has sold its browser, performance apps and name." https://www.engadget.com/2016/07/18/opera-browser-sold-to-a-chinese-consortium-for-600-million/

Don’t let it’s spartan appearance fool you, Opera Mail is deeper than it appears at first glance. Not my primary client but it works very well for my offshore accounts. And the price can’t be beat.

A crude start, but enough bones to develop a viable Default Email Client. But to release it as a capable Default Email Client, is ludicrous. Opera has seemingly failed to recover from their catastrophic, revised Mission Statement.

Didn't have much success importing email from Mail.app. Looked pretty but not able to do the most basic of imports so into the bin it goes.

One thing caught my eye when I was setting up. It doesn't seem to support SSL it only lists TLS. Yahoo requires 993 SSL port for incoming and 465 SSL/TLS for outgoing. Make sure you change that in case you use Yahoo IMAP/SMTP. The fact it still supports POP3 is notable. Most mail clients don't support anymore, it's outdated but there are probably a few people who still use it.

Surprise, works pretty well. Doesn't crash on my OSX 10.6.8. I Usually don't have much good to say about Opera browser because of the CPU use (Firefox is same issue), the opera mail makes sense as it never really made sense to use Opera Browser Mail. Pretty good designed for initial release. I always liked opera for it's simply no-nonse approach with GUI and the application features and GUI. Hope this is a continuing project not just a test release to abandon again.

Crashes at launch for me on 10.6.8

One thing missing: Can't assign an IMAP folder for Drafts. Account properties allow to choose IMAP folders for Sent, Trash and Spam, but not for Drafts.

still crashing on startup, combo update 10.8.5 did not change this ... a pity.

Works fine on my system (a mid-2011 iMac 2.5Ghz running Mountain Lion 10.8.4). Drag-'n-dropped the app file to my Applications folder, opened it, punched in my AOL username and password and it auto-configured without any problems

Crashes upon opening, for me at least. 10.8.4, of course.
